As soon as he entered his office the sight that welcomed him was the empty office, there was no sign of her , his eyes made a quick search, every thing was as it was, but the girl was missing and for the first time in a long time he panicked he frantily searched for her in the office but no trace of her , he searched every where even in the toilet, his private bedroom even if he knew she won't be able to go in there without his notice, but then again the result was the same , his face darkened upon the realization
" it going to be really bad for you if you ran away lillia" he stated his lips twitching in anger
He quickly logged into his computer to check the CCTV camera, to confirm and then seeing the content his gaze darkened further
" Lillia" he snarled
Without wasting a moment he took his car keys
He picked his phone dialing a number as soon as the other end picked
" David abandon any other thing you are doing and meet me at the garage now" he thundered cutting the call before David could respond" fuck" he cursed he should have locked the door, it didn't come to his notice that she could be so cunning, she must have escape through the main route, since he took the short cut so smart of her, but that's her greatest offence right now, his debtors don't run away and she is going to pay for it.
But the most confusing thing to him right now was why he was going to bring her himself when she doesn't hold any importance to him.

Fairview neighborhood
" Lillia why the sudden sleepover at Kaylee s house?" Mary asked worry striken in her voice, when she heard no answer from the girl who was so focused on parking her clothes into a mini back pack she had refused to say a reasonable a word since she came back
" and why are you in such a hurry are you in trouble, tell me what happened, tell me is someone chasing you?" She asked again, lillia still did not say a word, she was so focused on forcing her clothes into the mini back pack, when she was done she hanged it on her back, then she turned facing her grandmother, she held her shoulders
" once I am back I will tell you everything but I really have to go now" she uttered in a hurry
" but...." Mary tried to protest
" I promise, spending one more minute here is risky" she said her eyes filled with panic
" risky ?" Mary questioned
" yes I will come back in three days when everything is settled" she tapped her shoulders softly
" bye" she uttered as fast as she could, hurrying out of the room not even waiting for her grandmothers reply, her guts is just telling her that, that man will surely come here to look for her, when they left the office, she knew that was her chance to run away, she had planned it later on when she gave her daft answer, she did run away the next day and won't return thereafter but it seems luck was on side, it gave her opportunity when they left without locking the door behind . She can't possibly accept that unsuitable deal,she knew her actions this minute was irrational but she was going to keep hiding and soon after that man will just forget her, easy peasy she taught.
She walked hastily towards the door, opening it she screamed in horror as if she had seen a ghost she tried locking the door in a haste but it refused to close instead it opened further
" Don't know me?" The familiar chilling voice spoke, chills runned down her spine as she stared at him both in freight and shock, even if he was smirking she could see the displeasure that danced in his eyes as she stared at them, why was luck not on her side, how did he find her soon she kept asking herself, before she could say a word
" what's wrong, why did you scream like that?" Mary asked with a worry stricken voice, as she came out immediately when she heard her scream
Lillia didn't answer she kept staring at him in a daze
Aryan glanced at the petite old woman she had a slight remeberance of someone he knows but he couldn't quite place it
" and who are you?" Mary asked seeing the man Infront of her
" No worries madam, but I think you daughter has a debt to complete" he said rather rudely to her instead of answering her question as he stared back at lillia to confirm and to his annoyance she didn't say a word
Mary wearily stared at the man Infront of her she could very much remember who he is, who wouldn't know him, how did lillia come in contact with this man she taught, this was not good, and he just said she was owning
" lillia are you owning him money" Mary asked, to confirm though
Aryan frowned at her question did she think he was lying, nevertheless he kept quiet observing, no two ways about it lillia was leaving with him
" yes " she answered her voice was hoarse, she felt like crying that moment
Aryan smiled in satisfaction hearing her answer, he then took her hands
" I came to take her to finish her debt, since she decided to run away," Aryan said his voice chilling as he stared imposingly at both of them
" lillia what debt are you owning him, that he has to take you ?" Mary was still in doubt how did her granddaughter owe him
" answer me lillia" she asked again when she didn't answer, her voice raised making lillia to jump up abit Mary had never spoken to her that way before, and she was doing it today why was she so worked up, she could feel the panic in her voice too,why was she so scared lillia taught
" I think you both are wasting my time, it better she follows me now, or face the consequences" aryan declared his voice cold, it meant either she follows him or
Lillia was torn in-between she wasn't going to drag her grandmother into what she brought upon herself she rather follows him than landing her grandma in trouble, even though she was reluctant she has to do the right thing, she just has to curse her fate for her misfortune
" lillia can you say something" Mary said again, she walked towards her and held her shoulders she was so stiff, lillia stared at her grandmothers eyes, that moment she knew the woman she had absentmindedly ignored really cared for her
Aryan didn't know what he felt seeing them that way but it didn't feel good, then
" grandma" lillia called out
" is not like I am going there to die anyway, I am just going to work out my butts to pay him that's all" she wasn't going to tell her she got to sleep with him, she then hugged her
" are you sure about this?" Mary whispered
" I am sure"
